Feature Friday: Home for the Holidays Showhouse 2018

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did and enjoyed both of our family time, with lots of good food and fellowship. Families are the best, aren’t they? We both are so thankful for our families, a lot to be grateful for.

Today, I’m sharing the Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles magazine Home for the Holiday’s showhouse tour. I’m always invited to the preview and so enjoy getting a first peek into the home before it opens to the public. You’re invited if you live in the area to tour the home in person. It’s open until December 9th, so be sure and get by there if you can. I really loved this one. Some showhouses are beautiful and a little over the top. This one was definitely more Traditional in style with color and beauty everywhere. I loved it so much! So many spaces spoke to me and I think you’ll enjoy this one too.

The proceeds for this event go to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta this year.

Here’s a little about the showhouse this year. This is the 10th annual Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse and Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles is partnering with Harrison Design, Steve McGlamery in partnership with Blackstone Custom Homes and the city’s top design talents for this beloved seasonal event.

This year’s showhouse is a new, 8,232 s.f. Buckhead estate on 1.5 acres. Inspired by the site, the English country abode features a locally sourced limestone and brick exterior and open spaces filled with daylight. It has 5 bedrooms and multiple bathrooms.

Check out the schedule on the link above to order tickets and find the days and times it’s open. I really think you’ll enjoy this tour, I sure did! I’m going to share the designers name of each space and the paint colors, since they gave us that info too.

It was a rainy day when I went, so didn’t get a lot of photos outside, but you can see a few of the grounds and how pretty it all is.

The designers didn’t all coordinate their spaces, but I think you’ll see how well it all coordinated together. There were touches of pink all around and i just loved this display in the front of the house with all the fresh greens and pinks.

Foyer, Dining Niche, Library Niche, and Main Level Stair Hall:

Randy Korando & Dan Belman, Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts

This tree was inside the foyer before going upstairs and it was a show stopper too. These pics don’t really do it justice, but it was a glowing beauty in pink.

Those balls looked like big bubbles ready to pop.

I tried to take pics of all the fresh greens on the stairway. Aren’t they gorgeous?!

So I really loved this bedroom, a total nod to Traditional style. This designer wasn’t there while we were touring, but another designer said he was really inspired by Cape Cod and New England and I can definitely see that since I just visited there.

I knew you all would love this Traditional bedroom, so pretty.

Loved those cafe curtains.

That’s the tour this year of the Home for the Holidays house. Hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did. I just loved the spaces and thought they were all livable beautiful spaces and they all flowed so well together even though it was all different designers doing each space.

If you have any questions about paint colors, let me know and I can try to answer. I do have a paint swatch that they gave us of all the rooms as well as the wallpaper.

Wow, what a beautiful house! I saw tons of things I loved. My absolute favorite was the little niche in the hall that held a beautiful table, dressed in all sorts of pink flowers and treasures. You did a great job capturing all the nooks and crannies for our tour, and you looked might cute in some of those shots, Rhoda!

I toured it last weekend. My favorite space was the Butler’s Pantry. I met the designer and she was so sweet. Loved how she covered the cords from the lamps in gold tubing and ran them up the wall like they were part of the design. Another designer that was there said that was his take away from the whole event! Did you know they are looking for volunteers??

What a showplace! one of my favorites for sure. Beautiful colors and furnishings – the traditional style is really restful (to me). The landscaping is well done, and the outdoor Christmas decor is to my taste.

But the sheer amount of furniture, fabric, doo-dads, rugs, drapes, pillows, etc… is mind boggling. Can you imagine? And then add in Christmas decor… 🙂 Thanks for the posting.

Wow! So many gorgeous details in this home! I love how they decorated the mantels and of course those stunning trees. I already pinned a few photos and I am sure I will be back to scroll through again. I love the blue bedroom, the blue and white wallpaper and those bamboo chairs. I have been looking for chairs like that every time I go into antique stores. They are hard to find…or very expensive. Love this whole home. Thanks for the tour! Shelley

Wow,this is probably one of the BEST houses you’ve shown us!! spectacular use of wallcoverings, especially. The outside didn’t have the ‘oomph’ from a distance in your photos, HOWEVER the inside really had me scrutinizing every photo—LOTS of photos to take, I see!!! ha h a you were quite busy taking all of them (and more, I’m sure; you probably edited out a lot!)…wonderful, and inspirational

Gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish I lived closer or had a business trip to Atlanta coming up so I could tour it in person. In the “what a small world” category: I graduated from high school in Binghamton, New York with a guy named Robert Tretsch and reconnected with him on social media a few years ago. He’s an architect and is now the Director of Modern Studio with Harrison Design, and he shared the link on his Facebook page as well. What are the chances that I would have two connections with this amazing designer showhouse? Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Love the bedrooms! How do they get the mattresses so low to the ground? Our newer mattresses need flat box springs so that the scale of the mattress to poster bed ratio looks appropriate. Any advice on that? Thanks for sharing.

I like this one too! And similarly to a previous poster, I went to high school with one of the designers….Randy Korando, of Boxwood Gardens and Gifts. Didn’t know him well but I’m so happy he found his place in the world, doing what he loves….and is obviously gifted at. Enjoyed this tour.

Rhoda, Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos! I saw it in person Friday and you’re right, this house did not disappoint! Best house I’ve seen in years and we’ve been going to show homes in Birmingham, Nashville & Atlanta. I was SO glad to see so much color back in a house! I feel like the past few years every house has been white, gray, beige, repeat.

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Rhoda, from Atlanta, GA and I love decorating and DIY projects. Decorating a home doesn't have to cost a fortune and I've spent years thrifting at antiques markets and yard sales, finding those treasures that make a home unique. I'm here to inspire and encourage other women to find their own inner creativity. Won't you join me? More...
